Supreme Court Blocks Full Funding Of SNAP Food Aid Payments
1 week ago
The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked full funding of SNAP food aid payments amid the ongoing government shutdown.
In an emergency order, the high court allowed the Trump administration to partially fund SNAP benefits for November, overriding a lower court ruling that had required full funding.
The administration had argued that a contingency fund did not have enough money to cover the full payments.
As a result, federal food aid to tens of millions of Americans has been reduced while the government remains partially shut down.
